RMP600 basics
Introduction
The RMP600 offers an unrivalled combination
of size, accuracy, reliability and robustness and,
for the first time, allows high-accuracy probing
on large machining centres or other machines
where line-of-sight problems affect optical signal
transmission.
Successfully combining patented
strain gauge technology with the patented
frequency hopping radio transmission system of
the RMP60, the RMP600 provides existing probe
users with a simple upgrade to solid-state strain
gauge technology and all the associated benefits
this brings:
excellent 3D performance to allow probing of
contoured surfaces;
improved repeatability in all probing directions;
a low triggering force combined with low pre-
travel variation to provide high accuracy, even
when used with long styli;
a proven ten-fold improvement in life (10 million
triggers);
the elimination of reseat failures;
high resistance to machine tool vibration;
resistance to shock and false triggering
through the use of solid state accelerometers.
In addition to providing high-accuracy
measurement on your machine tool, the RMP600
also offers:
Faster calibration:
On complex 3D parts, it is common to
measure in several different directions. Each
direction of a standard mechanical probe must
be calibrated, to ensure that the pre-travel
variation is compensated in the measurement.
Performing this calibration for every 3D
direction can be time-consuming.
The RMP600 has almost no pre-travel
variation, so a single calibration value may be
used for any probing angle in 2D or 3D. This
results in a vastly reduced calibration time. An
additional benefit is a corresponding reduction
in errors introduced by environmental changes
within the machine during a long calibration
cycle.
The ability to be used in applications
where axial and radial reorientations are
used, enabled by the use of solid state
accelerometers:
The auto-reset function is required and
recommendations should be followed for
optimum metrology performance.
Getting started
Three multicolour probe LEDs provide visual
indication of selected probe settings.
For example:
Switch-on and switch-off methods
Probe status – triggered or seated
Battery condition
Batteries are inserted or removed as shown (see
“Installing the batteries” in Section 3, “System
Installation” for further information).
On insertion of batteries, the LEDs will begin
to flash (see “Reviewing the probe settings” in
Section 4, “Trigger Logic™”).
RMP600 installation guide
2.2
RMP600 basics
System interface
The RMI and RMI-Q are integrated interfaces/
receivers used to communicate between the
RMP600 probe and the machine control.
Trigger Logic™
Trigger Logic (see Section 4, “Trigger Logic™”) is
a method that allows the user to view and select
all available mode settings in order to customise
a probe to suit a specific application. Trigger
Logic is activated by battery insertion and uses
a sequence of stylus deflections (triggering) to
systematically lead the user through the available
choices to allow selection of the required mode
options.
A Trigger Logic app is available that simplifies this
process with clear, interactive instructions and
informative videos and is available for download
on the following app stores.
or
Current probe settings can be reviewed by
simply removing the batteries for a minimum of
5 seconds, and then replacing them to activate
the Trigger Logic review sequence.
Probe modes
The RMP600 probe can be in one of three modes:
Standby mode Probe is waiting for a switch-on
signal.
NOTE: The RMP600 will enter hibernation mode
should the system interface be powered off or
out of range for a period of 30 seconds (only
applicable to “radio on” mode).
Operational mode When activated by one of
the switch-on methods, the probe is switched on
and ready for use.
Configuration mode – Ready to change the
probe settings using Trigger Logic.
Configurable settings
Switch-on/switch-off methods
The following switch-on/switch-off options are
user-configurable.
Radio on/Radio off
Radio on/Timer off
Spin on/Spin off

machine input.
Radio off
Radio switch off is commanded by
machine input. A timer automatically
switches the probe off 90 minutes
after the last trigger if it is not turned
off by machine input.
Timer off (timeout)
Timeout will occur 12, 33 or 134
seconds (user configurable) after the
last probe trigger or reseat.
1.7 seconds

Spin at 500 rev/min for 1 second
minimum. A timer automatically
switches the probe off 90 minutes
after the last trigger if it is not spun.
Timer off (timeout)
Timeout will occur 12, 33 or 134
seconds (user configurable) after the
last probe trigger or reseat.
2.5 seconds
minimum. (The probe
must be stationary for
2.5 seconds minimum
after it has stopped
spinning.)
Shank switch on Shank switch off
3 seconds maximum.
NOTES:
In “radio on” mode, the switch-on time is user
selectable “fast” or “standard” when using
RMI-Q (selection is made in RMI-Q). Otherwise
1.7 seconds.
For more information on the user selectable
switch-on time when operating with RMI-Q, please
refer to the installation guide RMI-Q radio machine
interface (Renishaw part no. H-5687-8504).
In “radio on” mode, the switch-on time assumes
a good radio communication link. In a poor RF
environment this may rise to a maximum of
3.0 seconds.
In “spin on” mode, the 1 second starts from the
moment the spindle reaches 500 rev/min.
The RMP600 must be on for a minimum of
1 second before being switched off.
RMP600 installation guide
2.4
RMP600 basics
Enhanced trigger filter
Probes subjected to high levels of vibration or
shock loads may output signals without having
contacted any surface. The enhanced trigger filter
improves the probe’s resistance to these effects.
When the filter is enabled, a constant 8 ms or
16 ms delay is introduced to the probe’s output.
The factory setting is 8 ms. If false triggering is
noticed, then consider increasing the filter delay to
16 ms.
Auto-reset function
In previous strain gauge products, the probe was
required to be turned off during re-orientation
moves. The auto-reset function in the RMP600
can compensate for stylus forces, resulting from
changes in probe orientation, that can cause the
probe to trigger.
This feature is controlled by solid state
accelerometers and is suitable for applications
where axial and radial reorientation of the probe is
applied.
To achieve optimum metrology performance
when the auto-reset function is turned on, a dwell
is recommended before making a programmed
move that follows any reorientation of the probe.
When using a stylus of up to 150 mm long, a
0.2 second dwell is necessary. In most
applications the machine response time will
adequately provide this.
When using a 200 mm long stylus or heavy stylus
configurations, a 1 second dwell is required. This
will necessitate edits to the machine probing
programme.
When in “auto-reset” mode, the probe will not
trigger when moved below a speed of 3 mm/min.
NOTE:
Speeds below 3 mm/min commonly
occur when manually moving the probe using the
handwheel with a very fine feedrate.
Multiple probe mode
The RMP600 can be configured, using Trigger
Logic, to allow multiple radio probes in “spin on/
spin off” or “shank on/shank off to be used with a
single RMI or RMI-Q.
Up to four RMP600s can be used with a single
RMI-Q in “radio on/radio off mode. For further
details of this functionality, please refer to the
installation guide RMI-Q radio machine interface
(Renishaw part no. H-5687-8504).
NOTES:
Multiple probe mode is a function of the RMP600,
as such, the option will not appear when the
“radio on” option has been selected.
RMP600 probes which are set to “multiple probe
mode on” can coexist alongside any number of
RMP600 probes set to “multiple probe mode off”.
To allow multiple radio probes to work in close
proximity, and with a single RMI or RMI-Q, 16
choices of “mode on” colours are available, each
representing a different machine tool installation.
See “Multiple probe settings” in Section 4, “Trigger
Logic™”.
All probes operating with a single RMI or RMI-Q
must be set to the same “mode on” colour choice;
any multiple probes located on adjacent machines
must all be set to an alternative “mode on” colour
choice.
NOTE: Each probe per “mode on” colour choice
needs to be partnered with the RMI or RMI-Q.
By configuring multiple probes to a single “mode
on” colour choice, all probes using this “mode on”
colour choice will have the same identity.
The probe to be partnered is partnered after
selecting the multiple probe mode setting and
choosing the “mode on” option. See “Changing the
probe settings” in Section 4, “Trigger Logic™”.
There is no limit to the number of probes that can
be used with a single RMI or RMI-Q so long as
they all have the same “mode on” colour choice.
All RMP600 probes are factory set to mode off.
The addition of any further probe(s) into a single
probe installation will require that all probes are
reconfigured to the same “mode on” colour choice
and that one of the probes is then repartnered
with the RMI or RMI-Q.
2.5
RMP600 basics
The addition of any further probe(s), or
replacements, into a multi-probe installation can
be achieved simply through the reconfiguration of
the probe to the same “mode on” colour choice.
Acquisition mode
System set-up is achieved using Trigger Logic and
powering-on the RMI or RMI-Q.
Partnering is only required during initial system
set-up. Further partnering is only required if either
the RMP600 or RMI/RMI-Q is changed.
NOTES:
Systems using the RMI-Q can be partnered with
up to four RMP600s manually. Alternatively this
can be achieved by using ReniKey; a Renishaw
machine macro cycle which does not require the
RMI-Q to be power cycled.
For more information or to download ReniKey free
of charge visit:
www.renishaw.com/mtpsupport/renikey
Partnering by ReniKey is not available for RMI.
Partnering will not be lost by reconfiguration of
probe settings or when changing batteries, except
where multiple probe mode is selected.
Partnering can take place anywhere within the
operating envelope.

Note 1 Performance specification is tested at a standard test velocity of 240 mm/min (9.45 in/min). Significantly higher
velocity is possible depending on application requirements.
Note 2 Trigger force, which is critical in some applications, is the force exerted on the component by the stylus when the
probe triggers. The maximum force applied will occur after the trigger point (overtravel). The force value depends on
related variables including measuring speed and machine deceleration.
equipped probes offer ultra low trigger forces.
Note 3 Stylus overtravel force in the XY plane occurs 80 µm (3149.61 µin) after the trigger point and rises by 0.35 N/mm,
36 gf/mm (32 ozf/in) until the machine tool stops (in the high force direction and using a carbon fibre stylus).
Note 4 Stylus overtravel force in +Z direction occurs 7 µm to 8 µm (275.59 µin to 314.96 µin) after the trigger point and rises
by 1.5 N/mm, 153 gf/mm (137 ozf/in) until the machine tool stops.
Note 5 These are the factory settings, manual adjustment is not possible.

Approximately one week after a low battery warning is first given.
Typical battery life
See table below.
Rechargeable
batteries
Either Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) or Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMh) can be
used. However, when these battery types are fitted, expect a battery life of
approximately 50% less than that quoted for alkaline batteries, together with
a reduced low battery warning period.
Typical battery life
NOTE: Using RMP600 with “fast radio on” mode will result in a 5% reduction in usage and standby
battery life.
